Lost and then found

You know that feeling of relief after finding something valuable that you've lost? Michael Vorbav had that feeling the other day.

The German exchange student was with a group of friends and chaperone at Victoria Gardens when he lost his wallet. Everything he needed for his overseas visit was in that wallet including $800. Michael thought he dropped it in the food court but a lengthy search resulted in nothing.

Michael had already accepted the lost when he and the group waited outside the AMC theater for their ride. It turned out, Michael had lost his wallet while watching a movie earlier that day.

Corrina Comia, a coordinator for the exchange program who was with the group, said, "As we were standing near the AMC theater, somebody came out and asked, 'Does this belong to one of the German students?' "

It turned out one of the theater staff remembered the exchange students from earlier.

"I just had to commend AMC," Comia said. "Not many people find a wallet that has $800 in cash and gives it back. It's nice to see that even in this economy, there's still a lot of honest people."

Michael, pictured in the middle with an orange shirt, was obviously ecstatic. He leaves this country with a great impression -- and perhaps $800 in gifts.
